Product: 0132354136 Good beginner book on Ubuntu Linux which is the easiest Linux OS I know off. I use Kubuntu which is also mentioned in the book. I use it for controlling a Computer Numercial Control milling machine and a CNC lathe. I also use it for web browsing, CAD drawing, Office aplications, etc. Ubuntu linux has come along way in being the most plug and play and easiest to install.

Product: 159327257X Ubuntu is fast becoming very popular with Linux users. This book helps cut through all the jargon and painlessly (just like the title says) leads the reader through all of Ubuntu’s various features from the GNOME desktop, the Nautilus File Manager, the Linux terminal and command line, and OpenOffice just to name a few. But of course there’s so much more to Ubuntu and this book describes all of its features in wonderful detail, while at the same time describing concepts in a way that’s very comfortable and eases any concerns someone

Product: 159327257X This is Grant’s third book about user-friendly Linux desktop distributions, following Linux For Non-Geeks about the Fedora distribution and Linux Made Easy covering the Xandros distribution. As one might expect, he gets better with each book. The first two-thirds of the book cover the all-important aspects of installing and using the Ubuntu operating system. An early chapter provides a guide to the highly personalizable Gnome windows interface, followed by a chapter on connecting to the Internet and using browsers and email programs.

Product: 0470125055 This provides a great beginning overview to Ubuntu Linux and had some very interesting history about it. Switching from Microsoft to Linux, this book carefully explained the similarities and differences. Because Ubuntu is very intuitive, some of the book’s sections were simplistic, but thorough in the explanation. Overall, a very good starting point in learning the new OS.

Product: 0131861506 Easily the best book on Linux that I have ever read or bought. Also one of the best computer books overall that I have ever used. That is saying a lot given that I have many computer books on the full range of computer topics and given that I am very picky in what I buy. The other reviews - all but one 5-star - give details on the book.
